Ever wondered if there's a secret formula to staying sober? In this episode, Mary sits down with Don and Sam to share her 35-year journey through Alcoholics Anonymous. She opens up about the invaluable advice she received early on: don't try to figure it all out at once. This nugget of wisdom became her guiding light, helping her navigate the ups and downs of recovery one step at a time.
Mary also reveals the significance of a note she scribbled during an early AA meeting, packed with tips for avoiding that first drink.
